SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 527,091, dated October9, 1894.

Application filed February 8, 1894:. Serial No. 499.566- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL J. VAN STAVO- REN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Philadelphia, in the county'of Philadelphia andState of-Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Car- Axle-Box Pedestals; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

, My invention has relation to car-axle box pedestals of the typewherein the component parts are made of wrought or rolled metal rivetedor otherwise secured together, and it has for its object simplicity andeconomy of con-' struction of the component parts and to this end allthe parts are composed of angle iron pedestal embodying my invention.Fig.2,

is an edge view of the same, drawn to a reduced scale. modifiedconstruction and arrangement of the component parts of the pedestal.Figs. 4, 5

and 6 show perspectives partly broken away,

and Fig. 7 a perspective of the component parts of the pedestal. Fig. 8is a plan of the Fig. 9 is asection on line 11, Fig. 2, and Fig. 10 isalike view on line 22, Fig. 3.

Arepresents the pedestal composed of a top or hearing B and axle-boxguides O 0 all of which are composed of L or other suitably shapedwrought or rolled angle iron.

Fig. 3 is a like view showing a The guides O O are composed of angleirons and in said figures are arranged relatively to one another asshown or with their webs c projecting fromone another as shown moreplainly in Fig. 9 and at their lower ends, are

connected by U shaped braces 6, their upper ends being correspondinglyconnected by like braces e which are inverted and in turn secured to thecross plates D to complete the pedestal.

e In Figs. 3 and 10, the webs c of the guides O are reversed inposition, that is to say, ap-v proach each other.

From the foregoing it will'be apparent that the component parts ofangle-iron may be variously arranged to complete the pedestal withoutdeparting from the invention.

What I claim is- 1. A car axle box pedestal having its top and guidescomposed of L shaped angle irons connected together, and braces for saidguides, substantially as set forth.

2. A pedestal composed of two top parallel angle-irons B B connected bycross-plates D, depending angle-iron guides O C, and connections andbraces for said guides, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SAMUEL .J. VAN STAVOREN.
